Missionary tries to convert remote island tribe & gets turned into human pincushion.

[BrightonBomber]

Whether you are religious or not what he did was stupid, not because he put himself in danger but by simply trying to get to this tribe he endangered the entire tribe. Isolated tribes do not have the immunity to many diseases we take for granted he could of wiped out the entire tribe. Them shooting him full of arrows may have saved many of the tribes lives.

[MrAWatts]

n 2006, two fishermen, whose boat strayed onto the 60-sq-km (23-square-mile) island, were killed and their bodies never recovered.

lol why are the villagers not going there with ak47s and killing those ****s

I fully expect Trump to hire you for foreign policy guidance. Two peas in a pod.

[EoR]

Maybe they were just plain militant atheist and we assume they are religious due to movies and other tribes.

What if they stabbed in the name of science

Hmm... interdasting...

[KingSWRV]

It’s funny how they made all the way to modern society to survive intact on the island.

It’s just basic logic, you’re on an island, attack everything that comes on your territory.

It worked lol

I bet at some point in recent history someone tried to visit and noped out of there and everyone decided to leave them be.

Why would you exterminate them just because they don’t know any better?

So compared to other islands that allowed people to come in and probably changed in someway these people, they just stuck with the no nonsense alpha policy and it worked.

Pretty interesting

They're cute but they're not going to last a lot longer.. They were just lucky af the Europeans didn't find them a couple of hundred years ago.. Right now we just find them amusing and kind of sad since they're probably the last tribe who had been completely cut from modern civilization but soon they will get democracy and freedom... These dumbfuks haven't even discovered fire yet (srs)..

[batmanman]

religion of peace

You know for sure they haven't discovered fire?

[STA556]

How did he envision a scenario that played out any differently?

Probably saw this episode.

Yeah however pure his intentions were any modern western human stepping onto that island is an act of aggression against the tribe.

There's no way he didn't know this if what someone else said is true about him wanting to do this for years...

[ppself]

This is clearly self defense and protection of property.

Not only are they very vulnerable to disease, making this guy a walking plague bearer, but letting one visitor come effectively ends their entire way of life. Plus, it is their island.

Imagine living on a tropical island as a hunter gatherer without a care in the world because no other tribes even exist to challenge you. I wouldn't want poverty 2018 nerds bringing their iPhones and ****gy culture to my island either

For now it is.

Sooner or later. Somebody with more power is gonna want that real estate for themselves. And sticks are not going to stop that person.

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

Strong anti-immigration laws on Sentinel Island.....


RIP for the guy, but that was not a smart move.

[explosiveMidget]

lmao @ trying to reason with people who shoot arrows at helicopters

This lol are we sure it wasn't a suicide?

[gibbypoo]

Play stupid games

[seanb1979]

did he think jesus was going to fly down and cast rank 6 force field on him at the last second?

[SwimToTheMoon]

Just google Sentinelese and fire, tons of pages showing why they haven't discovered fire yet.

[bchap05]

Good thats what he gets for making soy boy face in that pic

An expedition led by Maurice Vidal Portman, a government administrator who hoped to research the natives and their customs, accomplished a successful landing on North Sentinel Island in January 1880. The group found a network of pathways and several small, abandoned villages. After several days, six Sentinelese, an elderly couple and four children, were captured and taken to Port Blair. The colonial officer in charge of the operation wrote that the entire group, "sickened rapidly, and the old man and his wife died, so the four children were sent back to their home with quantities of presents".

lol what a fukin crazy time in history that was.

Also

Toward the end of the same year's summer monsoon season, the Nineveh, an Indian merchant ship, was wrecked on a reef near the island. The 106 surviving passengers and crewmen landed on the beach in the ship's boat and fended off attacks by the Sentinelese. They were eventually found by a Royal Navy rescue party.

Imagine being there. I wonder who was more scared. Nutty.

[Azzurri]

North Sentinal Island has a pretty crazy history, I've watched some documentaries on it.

I mean if the Indian Army wanted to they could wipe them out, but why not just leave them be like they have.

[Berries1]

Typical
Non whites getting away with racism

this, srs. just leave them tf alone

[nn586]

Lmfao!!!

Dude was planning it for years and prolly had a totally different scenario play in his mind leading up to it.

Aaaand the second he steps on shore he gets lit up with arrows

Lmfaooooooo!!!! Wowza

[MiniManletBrah]

Weird that god didn’t protect him...

Ahaaha this

[Tears]

Found the footage:

Lmfao @ the last arrow coming in late and hitting the foot.

[cor030]

They were probably: "Nope. We have our own God".

To be fair, they may be savages but the fact they can create fire, craft weapons, construct sound shelters already makes them smarter than half the people I see on the streets.

IIRC they can't create fire

[Vhagar]

Pics of pincushion?

[MikeLowrrrey]

Honestly who cares? I know I sound like an ass, but I hate people who tried to spread their ideas. Look at western culture, on a complete downfall in almost every regard. Western ideas are good on paper, but when there is no proper balance, people tend to go full retard.

Those island brehs? They just want to hunt, eat, fuk, and sleep.

[Tornach]

A tribe like this may outlast us.
The fact that they are so far removed and out of touch with others may work to their advantage in the future.

[KingSWRV]

this thread is hilarious for some reason lol

You're not wrong. But at the same time they could get wiped out by a moderate size tsunami or any kind of flu

[NillaWafer]

Ded @ the google maps reviews.

5* place for sure.
